Sooner Late Model Series
Sooner Late Models looking for redemption Saturday at 81 Speedway
By John Rittenoure - TULSA, Okla. (June 7, 2022) - A Nebraska driver and a pair of Kansas racers visited victory lane when the Complete Well Testing Sooner Late Model Series visited 81 Speedway in 2021.
After Nebraska racer Josh Leonard won in April Kansas veteran Delbert Smith beat the Oklahoma travelers in April followed by a Kansas competitor Dusty Leonard in August.
The Sooner Late Model Series is looking to change that stat when the Oklahoma based series returns to 81 Speedway on Saturday.
Five drivers have won Sooner Series features this season led by points leader Hayden Ross of Muskogee with four victories. Rookie Brett Hansen, also of Muskogee, has three wins and four-time defending champion Kip Hughes, Texan Jamie Burford and Dustin Allen of Enid have two each.
After 13 events Ross is looking to end the championship streak of Hughes. Hughes currently sits in second followed by Eddie Martin of Stillwell, Oklahoma, Kerney Weaver of Muskogee and Mounds, Oklahoma driver Richard Shepler.

About Sooner Late Model Series
The Sooner Late Model Series was formed in 2016 by Enid Speedway co-promoter Mark Brill. Brill felt there was not many opportunities for late model competitors to race in Oklahoma and the Sooner Late Model Series was formed. Now the series has grown beyond the borders of Oklahoma with events held in the neighboring states of Kansas, Texas and Arkansas as well.
